Dear Jack,

Here lately, you’ve been getting into the habit of saving your allowance for a week at a time so that you can afford greater things the following week.

After you recently witnessed me buying my very first Funko Pop vinyl figure, of J.J. Abrams, as your sister agreed it looks like me, you then realized how cool it might be to buy one for yourself.

So after two consecutive Saturdays of doing your research at Books-A-Million, you made your final decision.

Though you were heavily tempted by the alien from the Alien movie, you chose to spend your money on Blue Fangs from the Netflix series, Castlevania; based on the Nintendo game from when I was a kid.

Granted, the Netflix series is not for kids.

But for you, you just see a cool cartoon monster that you like to draw!

Dear Jack,

Love,

Daddy
